This Day in Baseball - The Daily Rewind
Sports:Baseball
October 10, 2004 The Boston Globe reports growing concern
for Curt Shillings ailing right ankle. With two days to go before game one of
the American league Championship series against the Yankees in the Bronx,
Schilling was downplaying the injury and all but guaranteed he would make every
scheduled start the rest of the way. Concerns would grow more serious with each
passing game leading up to the famous “Bloody Sock” of Game 6.
October 10, 1956 - Pitcher Johnny Kucks sets down the
Brooklyn Dodgers, 9 - 0, as the New York Yankees win the World Series in seven
games. Yogi Berra hits a pair of two-run home runs and Bill Skowron hits a
grand slam. It's the seventh and final time Brooklyn and the Yankees meet in the
Series. In the future, it will take a jet, not a subway, to get these two teams
together, as the Dodgers will move to Los Angeles in 1958.
October 10, 1973 - Tom Seaver hurls the Mets into the
World Series for the second time in four years with a 7 - 2 victory over
Cincinnati in Game Five of the National League Championship Series. Tug McGraw
would be brought in for relief and the two would combine for a 7 hit
performance before a crowd of 50,323 at Shea Stadium.
October 10, 1999 - The Boston Red Sox set an all-time
postseason record by scoring 23 runs in defeating the Cleveland Indians, 23 -
7. The win ties their American League Division Series at two games apiece.
Boston gets 24 hits in the contest, including five by Mike Stanley and four
each by John Valentin and Jason Varitek. Valentin hits a pair of home runs with
seven RBI, while Jose Offerman and Trot Nixon have two RBI each.
